"Auto-rename target files" and administrator right

Post by *ts4242 »

I searched the forum for such problem but cannot find any result

1. Select some files
2. Copy to protected folder (e.g. a folder inside "Program Files" folder)
3. In overwrite dialog click "More options >>", "Auto-rename target files" or "Rename existing target file"
4. The overwrite dialog is close without doing any action.

The expected action is showing the dialog with "As administrator" and "All as administrator" buttons to enable renaming the target files

Edit: Actually the copy precess terminated at this point, that is, the files after existing target files are not copied.

When set AlwaysCopyInBackground=2, the copy operation is paused each time stumbled on exist target file and you must resume it manually.

Sorry, these functions are currently NOT supported with admin rights. Maybe in a later release.

What later release means? 7.50 or 8.0?

If you are not going to support it in TC 7.5, at least don't let it terminate the copy process without any warning!

It all depends on how long you want to wait for TC 7.5. It's already 1 year late, and there are new requests every week...

This fix must included in TC 7.5 because it is affect functionality of TC, in my situation I was copying some updated files from USB stick to a protected folder and I choose to rename the target files, the copy operation was terminated after copying only 29 of 200 files without any warning, but unfortunately I discovered this while the USB stick was not with me (actually this was very bad and embarrassed me a lot)
Because I trust in TC, I'm still using it, but what a new user who evaluate it can do?!!
